about

Lyrically, this piece is an unwavering moment of reflection and catharsis. As a rumination on the concept of personal loss, it barrels down “the grim road of actuality” that we all must travel at times (whether we wish to admit it or not). And while the song emerges from a highly individual vantage point, it provides necessary space within the words for listeners to imagine their own story.

lyrics

And at a crux
a spark that caught fire
A chance ignition
to quell the divide
I watched the embers fade
without hope of resurrection
A child lost
in unrelenting rain

As with the brightest hours
tempered by every nightfall
A wreckage appears on the path
I could have gone with it
dismantled, and dejected
But I knew your undying love



I'm reaching out
but you're drifting away
With my tears streaming
I'd beg for your hand
but would it break you down?
Can't believe what I'm losing

This is, this is all that I'm losing

This is, this is all that I'm losing

Losing



No sense in heading back
or conjuring the coming times
What's to cherish
is here in the now
But there is so much
that I just ache to undo
I hold it all
behind a trembling mask



I'm reaching out
but you're drifting away
With my tears streaming
I'd beg for your hand
but would it break you down?
Can't believe what I'm losing



I'm not alone on this,
the grim road of actuality
But these are nights
of mirrors shattering
shattering
shattering
shattering



And I’m reaching out
And I’m reaching out
And I’m reaching out

And I’m reaching out
(You’re drifting away)

And I’m reaching out
(You’re drifting away)

(You’re drifting away)

Can't believe what I'm losing



I'm reaching out
but you're drifting away

Can't believe what I'm losing
Believe what I’m losing
Believe what I’m losing
This is, this is all that I'm losing

Don’t slip away
Believe what I’m losing
Don’t slip away
Believe what I’m losing
Don’t slip away
Can’t believe what I’m losing
No, don’t go
